Runner-up twice this year; below par last time but dangerous if bouncing back
16 (12)	Forager Bay J:Jack Mitchell T:Simon Pearce	J:Jack Mitchell T:Simon Pearce	130	—	24-811	80	96	84	28d	—	—	-2	11.1	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Front-running 5f wins on last two starts, the latest over C&D; up 6lb and taking on elders

Having a good year but this looks too competitive
13 (16)	Wen Moon Bay J:Paul Mulrennan T:Ben Haslam	J:Paul Mulrennan T:Ben Haslam	131	tv	33-840	76	90	85	41d	—	—	-1	9.6	1.75/1	7/1 13%

6 (6)	Looking For Lynda Chestnut J:Sam James T:Craig Lidster	J:Sam James T:Craig Lidster	136	e/s	345-5R	81	95	69	93d	—	—	+3	9.5	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Refused to race in April; leading form claims on stable debut if that was a one off
5 (13)	Airman Bay J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	136	h	635-55	81	90	65	153d	—	—	+4	9.4	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Has handicaps in him off this mark but perhaps when faced with more of a test than this
8 (17)	Air Force One Chestnut J:P J McDonald T:Geoff Oldroyd	J:P J McDonald T:Geoff Oldroyd	135	v	/1820-	80	90	80	318d	—	—	+11	15.2	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Unexposed 4yo; makes stable debut having been gelded; betting should guide
9 (14)	Brazen Bolt Bay J:Warren Fentiman(5) T:Ruth Carr	J:Warren Fentiman(5) T:Ruth Carr	135	—	09-932	80	92	67	13d	—	—	+3	9.4	4.50/1	18/1 5%
On a reduced mark now and placed in two 6f Doncaster handicaps last month; each-way shout
4 (18)	Changeofmind Chestnut J:Zak Wheatley(3) T:Declan Carroll	J:Zak Wheatley(3) T:Declan Carroll	136	—	696-86	81	89	61	34d	—	—	+5	8.8	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Dangerous mark and latest run was better; drying ground not an obvious plus though
14 (11)	Hover On The Wind Bay J:David Nolan T:Paul Midgley	J:David Nolan T:Paul Midgley	130	p	-84125	75	93	86	32d	—	—	+12	15.8	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Flopped at Pontefract last time; in good form earlier but others look more convincing
15 (15)	Le Beau Garcon Bay J:Billy Garritty T:Michael & David Easterby	J:Billy Garritty T:Michael & David Easterby	130	—	268-16	75	91	74	7d	—	—	+4	7.2	6.25/1	25/1 4%

7 (1)	Sports Coach Bay J:Cieren Fallon T:Antony Brittain	J:Cieren Fallon T:Antony Brittain	135	—	/87-50	80	88	52	96d	—	—	+6	8.2	10.00/1	40/1 2%

On a dangerous mark but stood little racing since 2022; others look safer
NR (9)	Acrisius Bay J:Hollie Doyle T:Michael & David Easterby	J:Hollie Doyle T:Michael & David Easterby	122	—	31-207	72	93	71	34d	—	—	—	5.5	—	—
